God & Human Suffering: An Exercise in the Theology of the Cross

Rating:
Summary: God and Human Suffering
Review: Of all the treatments of this difficult subject of God's presence in suffering, Douglas John Hall's is the most helpful that I've read. This is a serious theological treatment of a complicated and emotional issue. Hall brings biblical theological clarity to readers while also addressing other popular treatments to the subject. Unless we understand the theology of the cross and God's self-limitation in love as he relates to humanity, we will end up frustrated and ultimately lacking in our understanding. I highly recommend this book to all who want to seriously grapple with the question of suffering.
